TFSCB proposals are expected to be self-contained and should provide all the necessary information for a full consideration of the funding request. The TFSCB, a multi-donor trust fund, was established in 1999 by the Development Data Group of the World Bank to strengthen the capacity of statistical systems in developing countries. It is closely coordinated with the work of the Partnership in Statistics for Development in the 21st century (PARIS21) and is part of the worldwide effort to reduce poverty by strengthening the evidence base for decision making at all levels. In coordination with national governments and development partners, TFSCB provides a practical mechanism to achieve the PARIS21 vision, that is, to develop effective and efficient national statistical systems and to promote a culture of evidence-based decision-making. TFSCB helps countries put Busan action plan for statistics (BAPS) into effect, ensuring that financing to improve statistical activities is robust and flexible. TFSCB finances two main kinds of projects. The first type supports the preparation of national strategies for the development of statistics (NSDS). The second type of project (non-NSDS projects) supports capacity building activities in specific priority areas. This report gives overview of TFSCB; how to apply; application conditions and selection criteria; contacts; and annexes to TFSCB proposal template (stage 1), TFSCB grant funding request (GFR), TFSCB post-approval procedures, and trust fund transfer of responsibility.  Exibir menos -
